GGU-RETAIN: Analysis of sum H

When analysing the stability of soldier pile walls, the active earth pressure beneath the excavation base may be neglected (see EAB, R 15). However, it must be demonstrated that this neglected active pressure can be taken up with a sufficient margin of safety (generally 1.5) by the passive earth pressure. GGU-RETAIN performs the necessary investigation. It is possible that to comply with the EAB, R 15 an increase in embedment depth is necessary, which GGU-RETAIN will carry out automatically. If it is not possible to demonstrate wall stability, you are given advice on how to proceed according to the EAB.
